100 Years of the Royal Australian Navy
100th Anniversary
Containing over 50 articles and a plethora of eye-catching photographs, 100 years of the Royal Australian Navy has been compiled by an impressive array of naval subject-matter experts, from historical commentators to authorities on the latest defence technologies.
The book covers the extensive history of the Royal Australian Navy, and examines its involvement in conflicts around the globe from WW1 and WW2, to Korea, Malaya, Indonesia, Vietnam and more recently the Middle East.
It also looks at the Navy’s current status, its fleet, programs and priorities with dedicated articles on naval aviation, submarine and hydrographic services, border protection, clearance diving, peacekeeping, supply and logistics, engineering, health services and training, as well as exploring the future fleet and technologies that will shape the Navy of tomorrow.
